    • Garcia missed weight before the fight.
  • Deception (80%)
    The article contains several instances of sensationalism and selective reporting. The author uses emotional language to describe Garcia's performance and Haney's loss, such as 'stuns the boxing world', 'dented legacy', 'enigmatic powerhouse', and 'straightforward defense'. The author also focuses on the knockdowns Garcia delivered, while downplaying Haney's efforts to keep the pressure on. Additionally, the article mentions Haney's weight issues but does not mention any similar issues for Garcia. Lastly, there is a lack of disclosure regarding sources used in the article.
    • With a similar opening-round burst that he displayed in the first, Garcia’s power connected thunderously, this time wowing the crowd by flooring Haney with a hook, handing Haney the first knockdown of his career.
    • Garcia bided his time in the eighth and ninth rounds before proving in the 10th that his bursts were far more than adrenaline dumps.

    The author demonstrates a clear bias towards Ryan Garcia in the article. The language used to describe Garcia is overwhelmingly positive and triumphant, while Haney is portrayed as having a 'dented legacy' and being 'stupefied'. The author also makes it clear that they believe Garcia was wronged by the referee in the seventh round, expressing their agreement with Garcia's post-fight comments. Additionally, there is a disproportionate number of quotes from Garcia throughout the article.
    • Here are all 3 knockdowns @RyanGarcia delivered to @Realdevinhaney to secure the win.
      • “I know people are so mad,” Garcia posted on X with a pair of crying emojis. “Imagine just imagine a guy that trolled non stop Beats a p4p fighter and then is just chilling bruh that’s hilarious Muhhahahahahaha.”

      Garcia Upsets Haney: Conor McGregor, Jake Paul, Tank Davis and Shakur Stevenson React

      Bleacher Report Tyler Conway Monday, 22 April 2024 12:24
      • Unique Points
        • Ryan Garcia defeated Devin Haney on April 21, 2024
        • Garcia knocked Haney down three times during the fight
        • Garcia missed weight before the fight and pretended to chug a beer at the weigh-in

      • Deception (100%)
        None Found At Time Of Publication
      • Fallacies (90%)
        The article contains a few inflammatory rhetorics and appeals to authority. Tyler Conway quotes several celebrities' reactions to the fight between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney. These quotes are not fallacious in themselves but the nature of reporting such statements can sometimes lead to an appeal to authority fallacy, as readers might take these celebrity opinions too seriously. For instance, Conor McGregor's statement contains a mix of informal language and boastful claims ('Yup Jesus and the sesh! Ya's know fuck all, peasants, stay out of our ear!'). This can be seen as inflammatory rhetoric. Another example is Jake Paul's statement where he refers to the fight as 'the craziest fight I’ve ever seen', which could also be interpreted as an appeal to emotion. Shakur Stevenson's tweet contains a potential dichotomous depiction ('If you aren't be sure to be a good gatherer cos I be...') and an inflammatory rhetoric ('Much respect to Dev he fought wit true heart and it just wasn’t his night'). However, no formal fallacies were found. The overall score is brought down due to the presence of some inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to authority.
        • Yup Jesus and the sesh! Ya's know fuck all, peasants, stay out of our ear!

      • Unique Points
        • Ryan Garcia handed Devin Haney the first defeat of his professional career with a majority decision win
        • Garcia dropped Haney three times in the fight: in the 7th, 10th, and 11th rounds

        • Garcia came out aggressively from the opening bell and wobbled Haney with a left hook in the first round
      • Deception (30%)
        The article contains sensationalism and selective reporting. The author focuses on the dramatic outcome of the fight between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney, emphasizing Garcia's three knockdowns and Haney's first defeat. However, the author fails to mention that Garcia weighed in 3.2lbs above the division limit, making him unable to take Haney's championship title. This information is crucial for understanding the context of the fight and its significance, but it is omitted from the article.
        • But it was almost entirely overshadowed by Garcia’s erratic behavior both in person and on social media, which descended into a disturbing blur of conspiracy theories and apparent cries for help.
        • Ryan Garcia celebrates his victory over Devin Haney flanked by trainer Derrick James and Golden Boy executives Oscar De La Hoya and Bernard Hopkins.
        • One of the most unusual build-ups to a major fight in recent memory delivered an even more sensational outcome on Saturday night when Ryan Garcia scored three knockdowns of Devin Haney and handed the WBC super lightweight champion the first defeat of his professional career in a dramatic upset.
      • Fallacies (85%)
        The author uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating 'At the end of the day there’s a lot of real shit going on. And the last thing you should worry about is a kid acting crazy on the internet.' This is an appeal to emotion and can be considered an informal fallacy as it does not add any logical value to the article.
